Think about how you use energy every day. Where does all that energy come from? You use electricity when you turn on lights, watch TV, or use a computer. A kitchen stove might run on electricity, natural gas, or propane gas. The heating system in a home or apartment might run on heating oil, natural gas, propane, or even wood. A school bus could be powered by diesel fuel or natural gas.
